{quote} If quote price is witin 20-30 pip away from a relatively large option expiries, the spot dealers in big banks they work with the options desk to try to push the quote prive as close the the strike as possible, that involves them buying up these options, because at expiry if their price hits strike or goes beyond the strike them holding on to those option would give them payout, which they will have a risk free environment to retract the price that they have pushed.... Since they sit on profits they just made from the options that were striked...
where the big banks buy options from? aren't they the writers of options, i.e., they sell options to collect premium and then protect the price from hitting the strike price?

they also hedge the options they sold with spot in the opposite direction. they make money from collecting premium. most options they sold will not hit the strike price and thus get expired and wasted

This looks like a good short opportunity on daily chart. Euro haven't yet broken the down channel.

the closer uj moves to 120, the more bullish euro gets. wait for a big up move of euro when uj gets close to 120
